I have a HEAP of e-series crap in the shed. Everytime I have a clean up and throw stuff out that I think can't possibly be useful, I need it a few days after I've thrown it out!!!

I'm not even going to get started on the parts I've got lying around. Oh what the hell.

AU engine out the back, head is still on, I've gotta drill a few rounded head bolts off. Burnt out PS pump, A/C comp, tensioner, water pump and manifold lying on the ground.
2 T5s at work, one full stripped, one with the shift cover off.
T5 parts, AU alternator, AU water pump, manual shift surround, boot and knob in my BEDROOM (Girlfriend is CRAZY about that).
EF XR6 head, rest of the T5 conversion gear, half a sprint kit (hi Dave!), bits of intake piping, auto pedal box, 2 sets of lifters soaking in petrol, general crap everywhere in the shed.

yeah ive got a few bits and peices lying around still, but i sold a few of my goodies on Ebay Recently. all i got left is a complete EF XR head, spare set of XR lights, normal headlights, Fairmont grille, ECU, ABS ECU, a bunch of sensors, clips, screws, buttons etc and a whole EA just sitting there.

Walki, dont worry about the oil pump picking up the lifters, unless they fit through the wire strainer.....
